Edge of the World

I learned how to steal since that day – God, who knows? Next scene: I shoot – cop’s dead – boy, is that news... “Big House” is waiting – you know how it goes Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you Now I’m in pain – not a man, just a file Biting my nails in the “Dance Hall” all day Edge of the world’s down that very last mile Where “Old Sparky” is waiting to fry me away Now I’m standing (standing) on the edge of the world (edge of the world) Waving (waving) from the edge of the world (edge of the world) Look how I’m falling (falling) from the edge of the world (edge of the world) Screaming (screaming) from the edge of the world... Screaming... Talked to our priest, asked him – “Sell me your God Is there a reward for being nailed to the cross?” Son of the bitch kind of shrieks, than he laughed: “If you’ll make it to heaven, my son The pressure is off all the rest of us” Killing is easy – I’m chained to my bed State pushed the button and murder’s fulfilled “It ain’t no murder” – this old guard just said “Good folks got murdered – white trash’s just dead” Now I’m standing (standing) on the edge of the world (edge of the world) Waving (waving) from the edge of the world (edge of the world) Look how I’m falling (falling) from the edge of the world (edge of the world) Screaming (screaming) from the edge of the world... “I’m spilling my blood for my sins – or so it seems” Spilling my blood... Blood for my sins... I’m waiting... for you to decide on mercy or rage Waiting... reaching out from the edge... Now I’m standing (standing) on the edge of the world (edge of the world) Waving (waving) from the edge of the world (edge of the world) Look how I’m falling (falling) from the edge of the world (edge of the world) Screaming (screaming) from the edge of the world... I’m now empty-handed at the edge of the world (Standing, edge of the world) the edge of the world...
